# Subscriber Preference

By default, Novu will show the subscriber preferences cog icon on the notification center component. If you want to hide it, you can use the prop `showUserPreferences` on the `PopoverNotificationCenter` component.

Users can enable/disable any active channel in the workflow using subscriber preferences
